5th Joke - Video/Action for Goldenrod

[used_trick]

[Your view of Goldenrod today is partially obscured by foliage, Johto. Someone is in, or hiding behind, some kind of shrub looking out on a large open part of the city; currently playing host to a truly massive number of Pidove.]

Arright everyone, you know the drill.

[The whisper is met with a variety of soft Pokemon vocalizations, all roughly translating to some kind of affirmative.]

Three... two... go!

[In an explosion of noise and falling leaves, Harley's entire team of Pokemon shoot out of the bushes and past the camera, laying into the flock of Pidove with enthusiastic gusto. A large portion of the birds scatter into the air, but some try to fight their assailants. Still others try to flee but are brought down by one of Harley's Pokemon.]

[As the brawl continues, the camera swings around to Harley, with a big grin on her face.]

This is a lot easier'n goin' outta the city and huntin' them down one at a time. The babies're having fun, too. I think this is bein' a real bondin' experience for 'em.

But what about the wild pokemon?

[used_trick]

Oh, they'll be fine.

[Followed shortly by the sound of a Mightyena's howl and the distressed cries of several Pidove.]

Pretty sure this is how they play. Y'know, learnin' to defend themselves an' stuff.

Well, I guess... Maybe if he gets bigger and scarier the other pokemon won't want to attack him at all.

Nah, the wild one's don't seem t'be intimidated when yours're all big and strong. It just makes it easier t'beat 'em up when they attack.

[Harley's a helper.]

[Wow Duck sure is glad she's not an actual duck in this place. Geez.]

Why do they do that?

Re: [video]

I think it's a self-confidence thing. Like if they get lucky an' actually beat ya, all the other birds'll respect 'em.
